I dropped mine and the glass digitizer shattered :(

I'm in the process of dissasembling it, so i can fit a new one i bought off ebay. It's half the price of the repair cost HTC quoted!

I might write a guide on how to take the thing apart, its an absolute b*****d! I've alreade managed to shear some of the circuit board inside off (im not even joking...) but it still works! :D
[Desire HD General] Calamity88:
think you can get a replacement without voiding warranty:)
[Desire HD General] shakadamus:
I dropped mine trying to check the time whilst half asleep. I'd lent over from my bed to grab it off my desk and being half asleep forgot it was plugged in so the cable went taught and it came out of my hand. I woke up instantly in a panic but luckily it was the day after my bro had bought me the Casemate Tough so it had just harmlessly bounced. :D
[Desire HD General] stezo2k:
My friend fainted and fell down the stairs with his DHD in his pocket, it's still almost pristine. talk about build quality :D
[Desire HD General] x86:
Dropped mine in the first week while opening car door - dropped from handle height to concrete - only small chip on top left of case.

Awesome build.
[Desire HD General] shithead:
I was waving with my arms and my DHD slipped out of my pouche and it hit the floor very very hard and slide a bit further on the floor. (it was in college, so it was indoor)

Not even a scratch on that thing ;b

(I don't have a screen protector or a case, only the pouche, where it was slipped out)

Happy about the build quality.
[Desire HD General] naimmkassim:
Now im using full protection leather case from melkco. You all should try it. I'm now 99% feel much secure from damaging my DHD if its fall again. :)
[Desire HD General] mat_1_uk:
I ran over mine. posted a thread about it

sent from the room for being naughty
[Desire HD General] Calamity88:
u can replace the cover by sending to service center :p for a price of coz
[Desire HD General] SeaViper:
Dropped it today onto the pavement :(

Some scratches along the top but the worse thing is a dint in it, just below the power button thats distorted the speaker grill :'(

So does anyone know it HTC would fix this? Or am I just going to have to live with it like this for ever now? :(
[Desire HD General] LeatherFace:
hahaha !! dayum thats so sad... hahaha

well i havnt droped mine.. i got zagg invisible shield for it.. and guys its amazingly protective.. i use it for almost all gadgets i own so u guys shd try it.. got a hard case toooo.... yet when i was talking out the battery i didnt notice that my nail is against the volume rocker not the battery cover aand poooffffffffffffff here comes the volume rocker flying in the air dancing to my heart beat:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: volume buttons works perfectly.. then got some super glue typa thing to fix it and now its allllll kewllllll:p
[Desire HD General] alexckma:
I dropped my phone once outside the tennis court, luckily i had a cover on (the back only) and the screen had a protective cover on it, it was unharmed. I do have a scratch on the front though from something else, I think it was from my keys in the same pocket once... sigh...
[Defy General] bonethugs:
Hi everybody, I've deleted BlurDialer.apk and now I can't call.

Please somebody attach the BlurDialer.apk file from Adlxmod rom for me.

Thanks guys.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Juusuhako:
I hope someone can confirm if this is a bug or not!

Whenever I turn off my screen, and then on again it takes a second for the screen to auto-adjust the brightness up or down. (depending on the light-situation!)

Isn't the light sensor supposed to know what brightness to be at even when the screen is shut off? It's as if it first detects the light-situation when I turn on the screen. Could someone please try (in either a very dark or light room) try shut off screen, then back on and check if the brightness has stayed the same or if it first adjusts it when you've turned it on?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
Why would it monitor the light when the display is off? Seems like a waste of power to me.

I doubt its a bug. More like a powersaving feature.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leppie:
That's normal AFAIK.

The light sensor turns of when the screen goes off, to save a few milliamps I presume.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KAsp3rd:
To my knowledge this is normal, its how mine operates as well.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olivierlee:
It's like that on mine too. I think that all sensors are turned off when the screen is off to save battery.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Juusuhako:
[SOLVED] Bug in Auto-Brightness?

Alright, thanks for the replies. Just didn't notice it till now and it sort of bothered me. :p
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] TheShowStopper:
Very good and very detailed... super job dude! :D

One quick question if i may... the screenshots show Vista OS i believe? Any idea if this will work on XP at all?

Thanks in advance :)
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] Casey_boy:
Yep, I think it works on Windows 2000 SP4, XP SP3, Vista and 7 - though I've only tested it on Win 7.

Let us know, if it doesn't!

Casey
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] mikkybukky82:

[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] ricep:
The updater app didn't seem to recognise the phone at first try, y had to reconnect it several times until everything went fine

Thanks, updated!
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] Casey_boy:
Did you enter the password? Somewhere in your rar extractor you'll have to put the password: samfirmware.com

Hope that helps,

Casey
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] koriolys:
Update successful ^^

Thanks for the guide !

Omnia 7 French locked to ORANGE
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] omniauser7:
Flashing the ROM always seemed quite complicated to me. But after going thorugh the guide and flashing my phone successfully I have to say it actually quite easy.

Thanks for the guide.
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] momagic:
Flashing is quick and easy with this guide, very n00b friendly.
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] gogibyte:
I have a problem :S ...

i want to update my Omnia 7 and i get this...

I don't know why ... it was green...com 3

EDIT: I guess that i must connect USB cable to back of my PC :) ... in front USB just disconnecting device.
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] premikkoci:
Is this fw 7.0.7008?
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] Casey_boy:
No, but you should find that as soon as you flash this you'll get the notification to update.

Casey
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] premikkoci:
I have a problem. My HP pavilion 6 doesn´t found my omnia 7 in download mode.
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] Casey_boy:
You've installed the drivers, right?

If so, try using a different USB port.

Casey
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] 0711:
had the same issue...

- first i had to use jig for downloadmode (with the 3 button "trick" i got only the restore thing)

- i plugged the phone to computer...nothing happens (driver was installed before and i have rebooted)

- i unplugged the phone and used another usb port

-> driver where installed, i thought all is fine

- i started "WP7 flash program" but the program didnt see the phone, i checked device manager and all looked fine

- i unplugged the phone and plugged it in at the usb port i used first (when the phone was in restore mode)

- wp7 flash program found my phone

- flashed and all was fine

:)

btw had a t-mobile (de) branded one and didnt get the 7008 update...now i have it in no time

€dith

i think marketplace and zune (on the phone) are now much more stable#

@dith 2:

marketplace ist much much much more stable compared to my original image and i had bad lags, now...no lags.

I dont know if the 7008 update makes this all or just the new firmware
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] premikkoci:
EDIT. It works! :)
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] Forzahibs:
Is it possible to reverse this incase you need to return your phone for repair etc ?
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] Casey_boy:
If you can find your original ROM, then yes.

Casey
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] 17-apg:
Download Mode

When I try to put my Omnia 7 into download mode using the 3 buttons I get a screen showing a phone to the left with a zig zag arrow to a laptop on the right. Is this an alternative download mode screen or is it the "bad" downloader??
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] premikkoci:
You have blocked download mode. You must use usb jig.
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] breakbystealth:
does anyone have a orange uk stock rom? i want to flash my omnia 7 but want to make sure i can flash back if it needs to go back as this is now the forth phone in 6 month so i just want to be able to revert back if needed.
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] corktrek:
Ditto. It would be good to have the original Orange ROM on hand just in case.

Also, once I've gone through this procedure is it possible to get the Orange apps (mainly Orange Wednesday and the My Orange ones) back onto the phone without jailbreaking it?

Thanks for all your work guys! :)
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] Casey_boy:
No, I've not seen an Orange UK ROM :o

Nope, I don't think so. If you have an Orange SIM you might be able to find them in the Marketplace - for example I have downloaded the 3 app from the Samsung Zone on my unbranded ROM.

Casey
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] evolutionqy7:
That three app is pretty useless :D only gives ya shortcuts to the browser lol.

Are all the roms from samfirmare brand free?
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] Eshonline:
very cool! worked rightaway without a problem... and already got the pre-nodo update :-)

thanks a lot!

screw t-mobile branding!!!
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] spr33:
Great guide. One quick question: will my phone still get OTA updates after flashing an unbranded ROM (namely I8700DBTJK1)?
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] Casey_boy:
Well we haven't seen any OTA updates yet, but yes. In fact, it is more likely to!

Casey
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] evolutionqy7:
You cant get OTA update on Winodows Phone 7. You only recieve a notifcation to update through Zune
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] corktrek:
Is there anyway around forcing the download mode other than making a USB jig? Unfortunately it seems I'm stuck with the other version.. :(
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] evolutionqy7:
Yes. Send it back to Samsung to fix it.

No there isnt. Only jig
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] ordas:
Great, thank you very much I was able to flash and update an Omnia 7 (T- Mobile UK brandig) with a Bildmobil SIM (in Germany).

:)

Edit: I was able to get the february update, not the copy+paste one :// Hope to get the new one soon too.
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] brummiesteven:
I did this to a T-Mobile UK Branded Omnia 7. Received the Pre-Nodo update (which is more than we got from T-Mobile) but no NoDo.

Update schedule shows Open Market phones as being Scheduled so fingers crossed Nodo Should be coming soon...
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] VonCrisp:
Wouldn't it make sense waiting for NoDo to update your bootloader... then flash it to unbranded rom =

No need for jig! :D
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] k_aftab:
worked like a charm. :D
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] Eshonline:
Hello, I had a German T-Mobile branded Omnia 7 updated to Rom I8700XENJK1 which i got from here

- worked really well THANKS!!! :) also got the pre-nodo update

there are though something missing on this ROM

1) I can't use speach to search - when i push the search button on the bing bar used to be a microphone icon on the t-mobile branded ROM on the ROM i downloaded from here this icon is not there

also when i hold the home button and i can speak a comand it wont search bing like it used to (only start application and call a contact works)

2) i seem to lose the 3g conectivity all the time and have to restart the phone to connect again

does anyone have similair problems? is there a fix?
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] ordas:
Similar problem here, maybe its SIM- related? I´ve noticed the problems with 3G after changing my provider (from O2-> Bildmobil).
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] VonCrisp:
I have a german Omnia 7 (T mobile branded) unlocked.

The only way I was able to voice search in Bing was by putting the Display language field under Region & Language to English (US).

Every other field is set to the UK.

Hope this helps. I dont believe native german voice search ever existed on wp7.
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] Eshonline:
yea you were right! it works only for the US setting

good news I just installed the NODO update (ROM I8700XENJK1) didn't have time to look into it but copy paste works quite well :D
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] luisbi11:
Should this work for an Omnia 7 in Australia which is locked to a carrier (Optus) as well ??
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] omer1982:
Please Help!

I have a faulty bootloader. I was hesitant to try the JIG method but then i went into diagnosis mode by entering *#7284# and selected USB debugging. There was an active COM 8 port and i uploaded the files. Whenever i press the start button to initiate the process this message appears in front of COM 8 green icon "Confirm Model Name" and nothing happens. Do u guys have any idea??
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] Damnzel:
Just tried to enter download mode with JIG-adaptor and it worked :D. I had an unlocked T-mobile device from germany and used a 300K resistor (instead of 301K). For those afraid of soldering, it is not really necessary. Just join the parts together and download mode comes just in a second
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] xdamir:
Duplicate post again, WTF.

Please, quit nagging people and clogging up the forum mate. I had already answered this questions in my previous posts, casey_boy had also directed you to cop a look at the post.:mad:

No JIG, No resolution.
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] usmc_commander:
Original Provider Roms?

Hello Guys,

I've posted that also in a other thread,

But is there a way to get my original T-Mobile Germany ROM back? I've updated it over the Chevron Updater :-(

Cheers,

Seb
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] snasninja:
is there a solution for the "not a retail device" error?

I have a samsung omnia 7 with 7003 build

Well onto my question, I used the Chevron updater and updated my phone to NoDo. Now I want to unlock it so I'm going to need to rollback to pre-NoDo (7004/7008?) before I do so.

Is it safe do downgrade my phone to 7004/7008 and can I get rid of the t-mobile branding in the process?
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] :
Hi, can i flash I8700 XEN I8700XENJK1 when i have nodo? i want to jailbreak :(
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] Mr_Waffle:
You can, but you'll be back on 7004 firmware, and don't expect to get back to Nodo anytime soon. You can only update to 7008.
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] nfalco79:
Samsung has release today a driver update (refer to KC3 ver 1.2 :confused:)

http://org.downloadcenter.samsung.c...Update_Support_Tool_for_OMNIA7_KC3_Ver1.2.exe

The combo to access download mode is similar as usual but less power button (use directly usb cable ^^)

I have XEN(<- i never understood if was right for my T-Mobile 16GB unlocked sim from factory, some people say XEN for Europe DBT for USA, some others XEN netherlands, DBT germany, GO TO KNOW!), update and no changes to firmware number. No update 7392.
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] lutherkingmartin:
things seems to move.

Any news about this new firmware ?
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] Phyx:
Is it a new firmware? I've been waiting ages for something other than JK1 in the hopes it solves my silent calls problem
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] XmlNode:
Thing is:

New "firmware" is not a firmware, only replaces some files on phone.

Two ways now with Omnia 7:

1. You have a firmware that can go into download mode (Power on + Volume up + Camera) and you have the new Samsung Fix. If this works, Nodo and 7392 will come

2. You have no download mode, no updates too.

MS said, deutche Telekom, Orange, and SFR2 customers have to wait till next tuesday.

[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] lesscro:
i have a noob question about ROM available in 1st thread...

Can i downgrade my 7392 to 7004 with this Firmware/Rom ?

And finally can i goto upgrade again using same old method i made,

7004 (chevron and samsung fix) then upgrade to Nodo with a unlocked phone...

If i can, i will very happy user !

Chhers !
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] Casey_boy:
I haven't tried it. I can't see it doing any damage trying it - it will probably just say "no" or will complete successfully. Maybe try it and let us know?

Well if you have a debranded 7004 ROM it should update to NoDo with no problems. I've read that the Chevron unlock is still working with NoDo.

Casey
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] lesscro:
Then if i understand, this Firmaware is not really a ROM ?

i will try myself and send feedback !
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] crasah:
hey guys, im kinda new here, so this will probably be a noob question but, is there any limitations about which roms can you flash to a certain device ? to be specific i bought an omnia 7 from someone who brought it from switzerland and it is an orange branded phone.

my phone is currently on 7004 version and it's PDA number is I8700BVJJ6. When i use the samfit on samfirmware it says

Model: I8700

Region: Orange - Switzerland, (Branded: yes)

Available languages: de, en, es, fr, hu, it, nl, pl, pt, ro, sl, tr,

October 2010 Revision: 6

Note that this information might not be fully correct on Android / Symbian phones

now can i flash any rom into this device ? for example this one, i think it's the latest one:

I8700XXKC1

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1089929

and if i can then will my phone become unbranded ?

thanks...

MY Calendar is in a Different Language

I have a UK T-mobile branded omnia 7 which i was hoping to debrand

I successfully updated my Rom and got the t-mobile branding off but now i have a problem!

The calendar is in a different language! even though in the setup i selected English.:mad: Everything else seems to be in english.. i dont understand what i have done wrong :confused:

i used I8700 XEN I8700XENJK1 then used I8700XXKC1_XXKB2; both had the same problem..

can someone please help
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] Fjtorsol:
You have to change the region format in system settings.

This rom's CSC file is intended for Netherlands with a default language of English also if you open any of the Samsung's utilities such as network profile utility or photo sharing there will be * NL operators and Hayves sahring which is a Netherlands social network. This is all caused by the following registry keys comming from the CSC:

; Regional settings

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\TIME]
"TZID"=dword:53C

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls]
"DefaultLCID"=dword:413

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls\overrides]
"LCID"=dword:413

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\Input]
"CurLang"="0809"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\MUI]
"CurLang"=dword:0809

; This causes that when you set it to English the locale is set to Netherlands

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\International\Langsettings\MUILangWithLocale\0809]
"UserLocale"="0413"
"SystemLocale"="0413"

; Samsung's locale settings

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\State\Samsung\Phone]
"CSC_Country"=dword:14
"CSC_Operator"=dword:00

Yo can edit them with a registry editor if your phone is unlocked.
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] showbiznine:
Probably a noobish question, but will a hard reset undo any updates done through Zune? I did an update that patched the chevron unlocking, and would like to avoid flashing if at all possible.
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] BiG K:
Just a quick heads up, if your phone isn't found, first start the flash program and then insert the USB cable to your computer ;-)
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] ComfySofa:
Hi to all - having some issues also....

made the Jig - got my phone into download mode (uk orange branded but unlocked sim)

cant get my laptop to see it atall in download mode - not a peep out of the device manager - as if nothing is there....i read a few posts up that if that happens mines unflashable from the usb socket??

Is that right...?
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] ComfySofa:
Anyone? - been trying for the last 3 days to get this going.....
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] Casey_boy:
Hi ComfySofa,

I know this sounds stupid, but have you tried different USB ports? Sometimes some ports just don't seem to work.

Casey
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] ComfySofa:
different port and different laptops and desktops....

Tried latitude e4200 on board ports and docker

my own precision m6400

a dell precision 490 (clean build with xp 64 on there...)

yup- tried them all

just to add to that now its decided to stop syncing to my exchange server as well - just keeps getting worse and worse!!
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] ComfySofa:
sorted out the exchange problem (that was me being an idiot and changing a config file in iis and forgetting what i did) just tried it on a dell mini 10 - no luck - looks like everyone is as clueless as me...
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] chemeng:
I've got a question... Can you mix n match when flashing a Rom? Can you, let's say, pick the latest .bin and .eb0, so as to have the latest radio / boot-loader, and an older .nb0 so that you keep a pre-NoDo unlockable OS version???
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] kratos2027:
hello,thanks for the post i updated to mango and lost the pre mango backup so this is so helpful.one question tho will this lock my unlocked omnia 7? or is it a hardware unlock? thanks
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] Casey_boy:
Haven't tried it...

Lock - as in SIM lock, or developer unlock?

If it's the SIM lock, then no, this won't affect it. Developer unlock, yes, but you can just re-unlock it.

Casey

I just bought locked T-Mobile OMina 7 and flashed it to Samsung Omnia 7 Firmware XXJL3 RETAIL UNITED KINGDOM but its still sim locked when I try to insert a Tesco sim card.

Do I need to use another ROM? Which one should I use?

BTW what does CSC mean?

Yep flashed smartphones before but still a noob on Windows phones.
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] OndraSter:
Flashing ROM won't do SIM unlock. You can either call TMobile to give you the SIM unlock code or Z3X Samsung Tools should be able to do the unlock.

Hey Guys

Just got a T-Mobile Germany Omnia 7. I am in Aus and I was thinking to de-brand the phone. Couple of questions

1) Which ROM to use? Stock?? Can u point to exact one?

2) Any advantage of doing this? Apart from the T-Mobile boot screen?

3) Will I be able to get stock Mango update once it comes out automatically? or will I have to reflash to some other (or German) ROM to get it?

I just wanna do these before I setup and start using my Omnia fully... any advice will be great :)
